My Endless Life.

Chapter 645 Searching
This is where things in the technological world have an advantage.

Even if the intelligence is pre-programmed and does not contain any soul, it can still receive and transmit messages through pre-set instructions.

After several special message transmissions, even the collapse that could devour everything could not stop the message from reaching Zhao Changge.

Of course, it's also possible that nothingness never 'thought' of stopping it.

It's unclear whether it has any consciousness at all; it's more like a disaster that indiscriminately targets everything.

But regardless, firsthand video news of facing nothingness is right in front of us.

Whether or not to watch it now depends on the decision of the Azure Emperor and the Black Crane.

"Where is Fairy Red Silk?"

Before deciding to watch, Xuanhe inquired about the whereabouts of the other Dao Lord.

The words had barely left her lips when the red figure drifted in through the entrance and gently landed on her cloud.

"I am coming."

Her expression remained unchanged, indifferent and detached, as if she would never show any other emotions.

But for some reason, Zhao Changge felt that Hong Ling seemed a little... happy today?
I don't know why she's happy.

Having not paid attention to Hong Ling for too long, and waiting for the last person to arrive, Zhao Changge said:

"Everyone's here, do you want to see?"

"Play it."

Having long been mentally prepared, Emperor Cang took a deep breath and said to Zhao Changge.

With a light wave of his right hand, Zhao Changge caused the machine to release a complete holographic projection, instantly transforming the entire celestial palace.

It transformed into the shape of the world's oceans.

In this world sea, in the eyes of the ninth-level Dao Integration experts, it shines like countless stars.

Therefore, ninth-tier powerhouses enjoy going to the World Sea to explore various worlds and incorporate them into their own original realm, as it is a very fulfilling experience.

Normally, when the Azure Emperor sees this bustling world sea, he always feels a strange sense of peace.

But now, that peace is gone.

Because something that shouldn't have appeared has appeared in the world's ocean.

That void that swallows everything up.

The Azure Emperor had already seen the description of nothingness in the information given by the old Taoist Xuanhe, but now that he was facing it more directly, he finally understood why the Soul Realm had perished so quickly, without even being able to send a single message.

Faced with such a massive disaster, the Ninth Order... had nowhere to escape.

I don't know if it can handle the tenth order.

After watching the last images transmitted by the machine, everyone present fell silent.

The Azure Emperor remained silent, sitting on his golden throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

The old Taoist Xuanhe stroked his beard again and again, and he didn't even react when a few hairs were pulled out.

Zhao Changge observed the two faces, his eyes darting around. He then turned to look at Fairy Hongling, only to find that her expression remained unchanged.

This guy... could he have facial paralysis?

Zhao Changge thought with a hint of malice.

The silence in the hall lasted for a very long time. Finally, when Zhao Changge felt that they had digested the news, he spoke up and asked:
"So, everyone... what are your thoughts?"

Neither the Azure Emperor nor the Black Crane spoke; they both looked up at the Red Silk.

Hongling blinked and quickly understood what the two meant: "I already said, I can't contact my master."

"When did we lose contact with her?" Cang Di asked instead of questioning Hong Ling's words.

Hongling shook her head and thought for a moment before answering, "About...forty...no, more than fifty years ago?"

Forty or fifty years is but a blink of an eye for cultivators.

This is not something that should be of concern to everyone.

If Cang Di remembered correctly, the time his friend from the Soul Realm sent him the message... based on the time the message arrived, it should have been... more than fifty years ago!

"...The sages knew, they knew all along! Haha, they knew all along!!"

For some unknown reason, the Azure Emperor suddenly flew into a rage. He slammed his hand on the armrest, sat up from his seat, and roared:
"They knew all along, but they didn't tell us. They took away their most prized forces and disciples, leaving us here to die!!"

"Ahem." Zhao Changge suddenly coughed lightly, reminding Cang Di, "Be careful, Fairy Hongling is still here. She is the only disciple of the Moon Saint. If what you said is true, Fairy Hongling should have left as well."

After Zhao Changge finished speaking, he looked at Hong Ling.

As if she were cooperating with Zhao Changge, Hongling continued, "My master told me that she was going out to handle some trivial matters and would be back soon. She left in a hurry and didn't take anything with her."

Hong Ling meant that her master couldn't possibly run away. If he really wanted to run away, even if he didn't take Hong Ling with him, the Moon Bell Saint would at least take her favorite innate spiritual treasure with him.

But now, that innate spiritual treasure is in Hong Ling's hands.

The key to Hong Ling's current status as number one in the Cangxuan Realm lies in the fact that her innate spiritual treasures can temporarily unleash their power.

“Perhaps we can look on the bright side,” the old Taoist Xuanhe said in a low voice. “The sages may simply be gathered together, trying to figure out a way to deal with that void.”

"This also includes the Saints of the Myriad Star Realm... the tenth-order ones," Zhao Changge added.

The tenth-tier beings in the Myriad Star Realm haven't appeared for a long time, and the ninth-tier beings haven't been contacted for a long time either.

They didn't know what had happened at first, but now that they think about it, perhaps the tenth-level beings in the Myriad Star Realm also discovered this.

The Cangxuan Realm and the Wanxing Realm may be trying to gather the power of all worlds to deal with a disaster that could completely engulf the entire World Ocean.

"I don't believe it! I've never had any good feelings towards those saints," the Azure Emperor said coldly. The old Daoist Xuanhe chuckled, "You only dare say that now. If those saints were still alive, would you dare say such a thing?"

"Why don't you dare!!"

"Tsk, what a boast." Xuanhe said dismissively.

The Azure Emperor snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with him. After a short while, the Azure Emperor said:

"Whether the Sage has escaped or is trying to find a way, we need to contact them to confirm. One of us... needs to be chosen to go out and search for the Sage's whereabouts."

“Then this matter is probably only possible with Fairy Hongling,” Zhao Changge chimed in.

The Azure Emperor remained silent, while the Black Crane stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Hong Ling possesses a spiritual treasure left behind by a sage, which retains the sage's aura. As long as Hong Ling takes the spiritual treasure to the World Sea, the treasure will automatically track the sage's whereabouts.

Therefore, apart from Hong Ling, no one else could possibly find a saint.

However, Hong Ling is the trump card of the Cangxuan Realm, and the Cang Emperor is also worried that Hong Ling will take the spiritual treasure and never return, which is why he hesitated whether to let Hong Ling do so.

But in thinking this way, they ignored Hong Ling's opinion.

“I don’t want to go.” Hong Ling shook her head; she refused to leave the Cangxuan Realm.

Seeing that Cang Di and the others were about to say something, Hong Ling said, "I believe in my master. She won't run away, so I won't leave Cangxuan Realm. I will wait here for my master to come back."

"No, fairy, I'm afraid only you can do this," Zhao Changge advised softly.

He looked at the red ribbon and explained the advantages and disadvantages involved:
"The Azure Emperor is the ruler of a country, and he cannot leave. The old Daoist Xuanhe is also a veteran Dao Integration expert. To put it bluntly, he probably doesn't have many years left to live. If we send him... what if he dies on the way?"

“I am a spy. You can’t expect a spy to do the work of a scout…oh, a reconnaissance.”

"Moreover, I am also the ambassador of the Myriad Stars Realm. With this identity, I cannot leave. Therefore, if we want to confirm the current situation of the Sage, we must rely on Fairy Hongling."

“But I don’t want to go,” Hongling said stubbornly.

No one blamed her; that was the path she cultivated—to maintain a childlike heart and to follow her heart.

If Hongling says she doesn't want to go, then she probably really doesn't want to go.

"Fine, then you can wait here. Wait until we all die together in the end." The Azure Emperor snorted and sat back down in his seat.

He still didn't have much trust in the saints.

The scene seemed to freeze for a moment. Hong Ling swung her legs boredly, as if she didn't care about anything and just wanted to wait for the meeting to end.

Suddenly, Zhao Changge noticed that her body stiffened, as if she had sensed something or heard something, and the expression on her face finally changed.

She looked somewhat surprised.

The instant her expression of astonishment appeared, Hong Ling immediately stood up and said:

"Okay, I'll go!"

"???"

The sudden change of heart left the three people present completely bewildered.

They couldn't understand why he hadn't planned to go find the saint's red ribbon a moment ago, but was now so eager.

However, they didn't ask any more questions, mainly because even if they did, Hongling might not answer.

Fearing that Hongling might change her mind, Zhao Changge immediately said:

"Then I'll leave it to Fairy Red Silk!"

"If there is any news about the sages, send the information back in time, at least... let us know whether those sages are alive or dead."

The Azure Emperor snorted coldly.

Hong Ling nodded without hesitation, accepted the task, and turned to leave. The red streak of light, like a shooting star, disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The three, including the Azure Emperor, were unaware of the reason why Hong Ling suddenly changed her mind.

But Li Qi knew.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Hongling agreed because of a single sentence he said.

"That void is so vast that even saints would be swallowed up."

Li Qi only said this one sentence, and Hong Ling immediately believed him and accepted the task.

After leaving the Cangxuan Realm, Hongling asked Li Qi again to confirm:

"Are you telling the truth? Even saints couldn't deal with that thing?"

Are there saints in the Soul Realm?

Li Qi countered with a question.

Hongling nodded seriously.

Li Qi said, "Since there are sages, why do you think the Soul Realm was destroyed?"

"...The sage is not here?"

“Yes, they are.” Li Qi recalled the scene he saw in the Demon King’s memory and sighed, “The saints… are there, but they cannot escape the range of nothingness.”

"And that's why I feel frustrated right now. If even saints can't escape it, do you think we can?"

Li Qi then explained to Hong Ling the reason why his 'Dao Heart was shattered'.

Hongling could not provide an answer to this.

She could only silently accelerate, fleeing into the deeper reaches of the world's ocean.
